Back to Ming Dynasty with Industrial Revolution System

Chapter 1788 The highest institution of learning in the future

The ambassadors lived a leisurely life before leaving the capital, and they often wandered around the city, some trying to figure out cultural differences or why there were so many new industrial products in the East.

The planning and layout of the capital city has been consciously partitioned, and a very special area has attracted the attention of some diplomatic missions.

The Imperial University Hall and the Kyushu Library are located in this area, and there are other great halls that were split from the original Academy of Sciences, forming the highest institution of learning.

Here is no longer the study of the Four Books and Five Classics, but is full of new subjects such as economics, physics, chemistry, mathematics, and astronomy.

The Kyushu Library, which has a history of more than ten years, is still one of the few towering buildings. Its existence marks that it is the place where knowledge is concentrated in the world.

The Jingshi University Hall will cover the style of universities such as Cambridge and Oxford, and become a holy place of knowledge that all scholars and students in the world yearn for.

In fact, the stronger the national power, the greater the influence of culture and knowledge.

At this time, after demonstrating its strong national strength, envoys from various countries began to pay attention to culture and education.

Queen Christina of Sweden asked the officials in charge of receiving the Swedish embassy if there were any colleges and universities here, so she learned of such a magical place.

Chu Yun did not deliberately show the Imperial University Hall and other great halls to these envoys.

What is exhibited in the Crystal Palace of the World Expo is the direct finished product.Behind these industrial products are the technologies and machines that produce them, and behind the technologies and machines are the senior skilled workers and engineers trained like an assembly line in the Jingshi University!
The technology and talents obtained by Chu Yun using the system are like kindling. In this ancient land, a spark can start a prairie fire. The Imperial University Hall and other colleges have been able to mass-produce thousands of high-level talents every year.They are the future of the empire.

When Christina saw the students in the school uniforms of the Republic of China on the nearby streets, the shock in her heart was unparalleled.

The most shocking thing is the astonishing number of students, followed by a large number of female students active in this area.

"How many colleges are there here? Why can women also study in these colleges instead of hiring tutors?" Christina asked the officials at the reception.

"Probably dozens or hundreds. We didn't allow women to receive education openly before, but Mr. Chu said that allowing women to go to school can liberate twice the labor force. It is not surprising that women enter the university later. .Many things I thought were unimaginable before, but when someone does it, it will naturally be like this." The official replied.

"Hmm..." Christina was thoughtful.

What she sees and hears here may influence how she transforms the Kingdom of Sweden upon her return.

"What is that one?" Christina pointed to the towering Kyushu Library.

"library."

"Can I go in and visit?"

"I'm afraid not, and the books inside are all compiled in Chinese characters, so you may not be able to understand them." The official replied.

After listening to the official's introduction, Christina couldn't help feeling a little disappointed.

Just judging from the outside, the collection of books inside must be huge.It's a shame not to be able to get into it.

She found Princess Irina of the Tsarist Russian Mission here, and several tall hairy guards followed her.

"The Chinese have taken away at least half of the land in Siberia. Our Tsarist Russia does not have a year-round ice-free port. Moreover, China borders our Tsarist Russia in central Siberia. I am afraid that there will be a lot of trouble in the future." Irina was discussing with a Tsarist Russian nobleman. , She saw Queen Christina of Sweden, so she walked over and saluted Christina, "Her Majesty Queen Christina, it is an honor to meet you here."

The two met by chance and had a brief conversation, in which they expressed their regret for not being able to enter the library.

At this time, Chu Lingyun came out of the Kyushu Library. He was a little surprised to see Christina, Irina and the others.

Christina knew Chu Yun's eldest son, and when she saw him coming out, she asked him for help: "We want to enter the library. I wonder if it is possible?"

"If you leave within half an hour after entering, you are allowed." Chu Lingyun thought for a while, the Kyushu Library does have regulations for visiting, and as far as the two people from Sweden and Tsarist Russia in front of them are concerned, they are not at all. I can't read Chinese characters, so I can only go in for half an hour to admire the size of the library.

"Great!" Christina, Irina and the others couldn't help being a little surprised when they saw that someone could take them in.

In order to prevent a commotion in the library, only Christina and Irina followed Chu Lingyun into the library.

When they were allowed to visit the library within half an hour, they were shocked by the astonishing collection of books in the Kyushu Library.

Compared with more than a decade ago, there are many more books here. Some new books are no longer written by people summoned by Chu Yun, but published by people cultivated locally, filling up the wooden shelves that were still vacant before. .

Various books are piled up on each floor, and a long path runs from bottom to top to the top. This is the "Path of Diligence" named by Chu Yun himself.Hundreds of students are studying the books here and becoming parts of the empire.

There are also a lot of electric lights inside, so there is no need to worry about lighting problems here.

"If there is a heaven, then it must look like this." Christina could smell the strong fragrance of paper and ink inside, which shows how many books are there.

"I kind of understand why you have such terrifying national power." Princess Irina of Tsarist Russia, who was about the same age as Chu Lingyun, had beautiful eyes, and she was shocked by the grandeur of the library.

"Fortunately..." Chu Lingyun said modestly, but he was also admired by everything his father had created.

A few decades ago, this country was still struggling with external and internal troubles, but now it can manipulate the entire world.

Christina and Irina took a rough tour of the Kyushu Library full of admiration.

The Kyushu Library and the Beijing Normal University made them understand the reason for the rapid development of the other party. With so many talents, it is difficult to think that they will not be strong.

Chu Lingyun led them out, and there was a young girl waiting outside. Seeing Chu Lingyun and the two women walking together, she deliberately said, "Brother Ling'er, I didn't expect you to change your female partner again."

"What do you mean... Sister Yinger, what are you doing here?" Chu Lingyun asked.

This person is Li Jinde's daughter Li Yinger.

"Today is your father's birthday. Auntie asked me to remind you to go back early."
